Minnesota Vikings fans know as well as anyone that patience is required in order to find success. While the franchise has been largely successful over the course of its history, it still is missing one thing: A Super Bowl victory.

Last year DE Michael Johnson was signed to a rich contract by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the thought that he could be a pass rushing force in Leslie Frazier&#039;s pin-back-your-ears-and-get-the-QB defensive scheme. That thinking proved to be flawed and yesterday the Buccaneers minimized the...2015-03-12 09:41:472/5: Cat Crave- Could WR Percy Harvin Fit in Carolina Panthers Plans?http://catcrave.com/2015/02/05/wr-percy-harvin-fit-carolina-panthers-plans/
It doesn&#039;t take a mensa membership to realize that the Carolina Panthers desperately need a speedy compliment to wide receiver, Kelvin Benjamin.

In attempting to quantify Mike Zimmer&#039;s impact on the Minnesota Vikings in his first year as head coach, the most simple way would be to look at the win-loss record. While that did improve (5-10-1 in 2013; 7-9 in 2014), I believe his impact was greater than that.

On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings are scheduled to take on the Bears in Chicago. Both teams enter the game with a losing record and a dire need to get back on track.

The Minnesota Vikings have had one heck of a year...and not in a good way.

Last year was a very disappointing year for Minnesota Vikings fans.

In Mike Zimmer&#8217;s first training camp as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, he has brought a breath of fresh air to Mankato, or at least the smell of sweaty football pads.
